ISO safe 1-time conversion of wmv slideshow to Apple-supported format

I made a cute family vacation slideshow using PE10, but now cannot share the wmv file with family who use Apple products.  I don't want to invest $$ in a converter, but neither do I want to risk a virus, a steep learning curve, or limited functionality from a free download.  Can anyone suggest a save and convenient way to convert this file?  thanks!

What version of windows are you using?

Do you have Windows Movie Maker?

A safe third party software is VLC Media Player which can convert the wmv to an mp4 which should play on an apple device.

Official download of VLC media player, the best Open Source player - VideoLAN

Thanks Jeff! 

Since my post, I added the jpg files to iCloud to share.  I do have Windows Movie Maker and just added the wmv file, but I received an error message. 

I will certainly try your recommended VLC software next time, unless Adobe or Microsoft offer a free converter solution in the meantime. 

Thanks again,
